furniture.

Years ago, I was in some Northern Kentucky chain restaurant (can't remember which but it served alcohol) and I noticed there was a changing table in the ladies room but no tampon/pad dispenser. I casually mentioned this to the server (chuckling while I said it) and next thing I knew the manager came over. (There were no harsh words passed by anyone.) The manager was interested in my observation, and I told him to look around. "You see more young women here than babies." Sometime later I learned a tampon/pad dispenser was installed in the ladies room.

Any restaurant that serves alcohol should not be expected to cater to babies, IMHO. Those families can go to non-alcoholic baby-friendly restaurants. Or can make arrangements to use their car for shitty diaper changes.
